Chapter 1027: Mother Wang Fei

~8 min read 1,516 words

Early in the morning, Yue Xin went to the Jiafengdao Prison to visit the Prince Chujiang's Wang Fei.

Everything was arranged properly; when she arrived at the place and reported her name, she was invited in.

Originally, Chen Guanlou wanted to "happen to pass by" and accompany her, using the excuse of going together to help with arrangements. He was rejected by Yue Xin, and only then had to give up.

Yue Xin entered the Jiafengdao Prison and immediately felt the surrounding environment become eerie. Even the old woman leading the way inexplicably added three parts of ferocity, making her feel slightly uneasy. However, thinking that she was about to see the Wang Fei, she regained her courage.

Walking inside for a long time, not knowing how long it had been, the old woman said "We're here!" as if she had been liberated.

Opening the door and entering, unlike a traditional prison cell, this was a small courtyard. It was just empty, with no furniture or decorations other than the necessary items.

Yue Xin stepped into the small courtyard and saw the Wang Fei sitting under the eaves at first glance.

She dropped her luggage, rushed over, and knelt down on the spot. "Daughter pays respects to Mother Wang Fei!"

"So it's Xin'er who has come, hurry up and get up."

It turned out that Yue Xin's identity was not simply a useful maid in front of the Wang Fei, but the Wang Fei's adopted daughter. Because she was an adopted daughter and a female family member, and because before the Wang Fu incident, all relationships had been clearly cut off on the surface, she had not been arrested by the government. She was still a commoner and could move freely.

It was precisely because of her identity as an adopted daughter that the other free people of the Wang Fu followed her instructions. In the team entering the capital, everything was led by her.

"Mother Wang Fei has suffered!"

"Good child, what does this little bit of suffering count for? The real suffering is yet to come."

"Mother Wang Fei, what do you mean by that? Could it be that His Majesty is about to take action?"

"You tell me first, how did you get in? Whose connections did you use? This is the Jiafengdao Prison; anyone in the Wang Fu with any ability has been arrested. How did you manage to clear the path in the unfathomable capital..."

The Prince Chujiang's Wang Fei was old, and added to the torture of this period, her temples were white, like an old woman. But although she was old, her brain was not old, and her thinking was still flexible.

Yue Xin wiped away her tears and told everything about how she came to the capital, how she looked for people, how she hit walls, and finally whose door she used to achieve her wish.

The Prince Chujiang's Wang Fei was very surprised. "I never imagined that a mere Heavenly Prison Prison Clerk could have such great ability. Relying on the background of the Hou Fu alone is definitely not enough, and relying on the identity of a Ninth-Rank martial artist is not enough to get things done. This person really has some skills. You are also lucky; you hit a wall, but in the end, you found the right person."

"Daughter only held the thought of trying it at first, never expecting it to really work, to really be able to see Mother Wang Fei. The other party also promised to help clear the relationship with the Dali Temple and Zhao Yu next."

"You must thank him well. Being able to meet such a capable person in the capital is a fortunate event. In our current situation, to tell the truth, having a high position and great power is not necessarily as useful as a prison clerk. As the saying goes, a county magistrate is not as good as the one currently in charge."

"Daughter will listen to Mother Wang Fei, and after returning, will double the silver to thank the other party."

The Prince Chujiang's Wang Fei gently stroked Yue Xin's cheek, a gratified smile appearing on her face. "A person like him definitely doesn't lack silver. And he wouldn't do this much for a mere bit of silver. He did it even more properly than our own people. You must change the way you thank the other party."

Yue Xin's expression changed slightly.

The Prince Chujiang's Wang Fei, however, smiled, as if she hadn't noticed anything. "Tell me, what does he look like, how old is he?"

Yue Xin lowered her head and told the truth.

The Prince Chujiang's Wang Fei gave an 'en' and nodded. "You must show enough sincerity! I and the Wang Fei definitely won't live to see next year..."

"Wang Fei?"

"No need to panic! Life and death are already destined; I have long since seen through it. In fact, as early as when the Wang Ye raised the flag to rebel, I knew there would be such a day sooner or later. Alas, it's all fate! You don't need to worry about us too much; after you get out, leave the capital as soon as possible. This is not a place you should come to."

"No, I want to stay." Yue Xin said stubbornly, "No matter what, if it really can't be avoided, at least let daughter send Father Wang and Mother Wang Fei on their final journey."

"Why bother? That person in the palace is vengeful; I am still counting on you and your adopted brother to preserve some strength for the Wang Fu. If you fold in the capital, wouldn't it be a waste of my painstaking arrangements."

The Prince Chujiang's Wang Fei was earnest, as if she had planned everything long ago.

Yue Xin shook her head and shed tears, refusing to agree to leave the capital now no matter what.

She looked up, her eyes full of pleading. "Mother Wang Fei, let me stay. The relationship with Jiafengdao has been cleared, and I will come to visit you often in the future, bring you some food and clothes, at least make your days better. Mother Wang Fei, the set you are wearing is still the one you were wearing inside on the day you were arrested. I don't even dare to imagine how terrifying the days in prison are. People outside all say that once you enter Jiafengdao, don't think about coming out alive. How could daughter possibly rest assured and leave the capital! This is gouging out my heart!"

"If you don't leave, you are gouging out my heart." The Prince Chujiang's Wang Fei suddenly sank her face, appearing exceptionally dignified, the Wang Fei's bearing fully displayed.

Yue Xin shrank back immediately. "Daughter doesn't dare!"

"What else do you not dare to do? You even dared to act on your own and run to the capital; fortunately, you were lucky. If you had met a few people with ulterior motives, I wouldn't even dare to imagine what the consequences would be. Once you've met, leave quickly, don't linger! This place, the capital, is not where you should come."

"Mother Wang Fei, daughter..."

"If you still treat me as your Mother Wang Fei, don't disobey me. Be obedient, okay?"

"I..."

Yue Xin cried uncontrollably. While wiping away her tears, she said, "I haven't seen the sisters yet; it's rare to come once, at least let me see them before leaving."

The Prince Chujiang's Wang Fei's attitude softened, and she gently stroked the top of her head. "You have ideas, and you have your own opinions; it wasn't a waste of my years of cultivation. The Wang Fu has fallen, but you cannot fall! If there is a chance, go see the Wang Ye for me, and tell him, when it's time to cut, cut; don't be indecisive."

En!

Yue Xin nodded heavily.

The Prince Chujiang's Wang Fei lifted her face. "My daughter is really beautiful! Even entering the palace to be a Niangniang would be fitting."

"Mother Wang Fei?"

The Prince Chujiang's Wang Fei smiled. "Sincerity is more precious than anything! After you go out, don't come again. A big tree catches the wind! The Wang Fu cannot be wiped out, do you remember?"

Yue Xin understood, her heart was endlessly painful, and she nodded heavily. "I will listen to Mother Wang Fei!"

"Promise me, don't linger in the capital!"

"I promise Mother Wang Fei, I will definitely not linger in the capital!"

"What a good child!"

The Prince Chujiang's Wang Fei became happy, took out a jade pendant from her bosom, and handed it to her. "The importance of this jade pendant, I don't need to say, you also know clearly. Remember, after you go back, live your life well. If you lose, you lose; when you should kowtow, kowtow, don't do those other things."

"Mother Wang Fei, I can't bear to part with you!"

"What is there to be reluctant about? You, you are too sentimental! Don't ruin yourself!" ===== CHAPTER 1028 =====
